Dxdiag for Linux?


Hello,

I'm wondering if there is an equivalent to dxdiag for Linux. I want to register for the Pirates of the Burning Seas beta and they need a dxdiag.txt for my computer and "sadly" I just deleted the Windows partition on my machine since Cedega and Wine have been able to play everything I've needed so far.

I've tried running dxdiag in wine, but that doesn't do a whole lot. Is there any way I can get a file like this for my comp without installing Windows? Or am i screwed?

Thanks for the help.

Well, DirectX is a Windows/Microsoft thing. DXDiag is a part of that. Your best bet is to either reinstall Windows in order to get the dxdiag.txt (which is a bit of a pain) or ask someone with a similar set up to send you theirs.
